It’s YOUR time to SHINE!

Hi there & welcome,

I’m Carlie, and I help exhausted mothers…

…to stop drinking more than they know is healthy for them, and live a vibrant, clear headed life.

In Jan 2021, I was depleted, a bit depressed, anxious and overwhelmed. On the outside I was putting on a brave smiling face & going through the motions at work and home. I had a good job, beautiful family and friends, nice house, car and all the ‘things’; but I was secretly on this never-ending merry-go-round of:

• drinking more than I knew was healthy for me…

• dealing with a hangover the next day…

• swearing off the booze for good…

• white knuckling it through a few dry days…

• then finding myself heading to the bottle shop again!

I wasn’t at rock bottom, and I wasn’t what people would call an ‘alcoholic’ so I didn’t really know where to turn for help, or if I was even brave enough to get help.

Then an ad for a coach popped up on my facebook feed (as they do!); I made an enquiry and signed up for a 6 week 1:1 coaching program. I was so scared it wouldn’t work, but before I knew it, I had 6 weeks alcohol free behind me! Then 50 days, then 100 days… 200 days and I have recently celebrated 1000 days alcohol free!! It was working with my coach that helped me to realise, alcohol just wasn’t serving me anymore.

7 months into sobriety, I knew deep down that this was my new way of life, it wasn’t just a phase or something that I would lose interest in. Living an alcohol-free lifestyle has made me feel brighter and shinier than I had felt in years, and I thought it would be great to help others to feel the same way. This inspired me to complete my Coaching Certification in 2021.

Now, I support other mothers to learn to trust themselves when it comes to alcohol, and I get to watch their lives flourish in the same way that mine has.

I am not at all against alcohol or people that drink; alcohol played a BIG role in my life for many years, so I understand the struggle and hold no judgement against it. Sometimes I regret all those years I spent drinking, but I guess, without them, I wouldn’t be where I am now.
